As the bone-chilling wrath of winter arrives, staying warm — at least those of us not fortunate enough to live in Southern California — is a full-time pursuit. But staying warm and stylish? That practically requires an advanced degree in inclement sartorial arts. There is, however, one fail-safe solution: vintage furs. Fluffy, cuddly furs are just as toasty as down jackets, but have a luxe factor that puffy coats can’t compete with. Plus, there’s the benefit of not having to show up to holiday parties dressed like you were shoveling the sidewalk. And, for the politically-minded among us, it’s much less objectionable to purchase vintage fur versus new-to-the-rack pieces.
For your browsing pleasure, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite fur coats — in a range of prices! — from the unmatched selection on 1stdibs. From a classic-fitting sable fur coat by Fendi to an iconic Yves Saint Laurent once owned by Elton John, these snuggly pieces of outerwear will make you wonder why you ever bothered with Gortex.
